English
अप्सुवाह् Tatpur. m. (-ट्) (ved.) Driving in the intermediate
region, in the region between heaven and earth, an epithet
of the horses of Indra

Sā-
yaṇa renders it however ‘driving on account of water’,
i. e. ‘precipitating the waters’: अप्सु निमित्तभूतासु ये वहन्ति
तेऽप्सुवाहः उदकस्य पातयितारः तान् &c.
comp. the
explanation of अप्सुजित्). E. अप्सु (loc. plur. of अप्) and
वाह् (वह्, kṛt aff. ण्वि).
